The Adventurers first encountered the Mudblups
when they were searching for the Treasure of Grundo. Tweeg
replaced the real Treasure Map with a fake one which lead them
to the edge of the Great Desert. After searching for wood, there
was a huge earthquake and they fell into the Mudblup cave. There
was coal all around and Gimmick saw
this as alternate fuel for the Airship
and they started to collect some. But the Mudblups found them,
accused them of stealing, locked Teddy
and Gimmick in a prison cell, and put Grubby
to work in the kitchen. Inside the cell is also where Teddy and
Gimmick meet Prince Arin. The Mudblups
also return in other episodes, but Teddy and the others are only
captured once more.
These guys are nothing but big piles of walking mud. Nothing
to be afraid of really.
